El Paso County Sheriff calls me at 5pm tonight. They have located my Ducati at the apartment residence of a drug dealer. They have me wait until they get a search warrant; they raid the place, arrest the thieves, then return my bike to me. Bike is in good shape, got the key back too. It's now back in the garage at home and the drug dealers are on their way to jail. Started with a crime stoppers tip to the extent of "there is a drug dealer in my apartment complex, and there is a black Ducati w/ yellow wheels he is keeping in the parking lot".
Sweet.
score!

Better take the bar-ends off, along with the frame tube plugs, and be sure to check for 'new' welds and 'new' paint 'blends' ------- there still could be blow packed in the frame of that meatball express. Not that I would know anything about that type of operation

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Imagine it was said by a Hardley rider!!!
Fortuantely, I just lost some tools and a couple of helmets on top of the bike.
Actually, I worked all day today and have not had a chance to charge the battery and run the thing. It still has oil in it which smells normal (not burnt or anything), but I'm going to change it out before I run it. Who knows what kind of redlining they did to the engine. Guess I'll know tomorrow.
Or maybe I'll go to the garage right now and get to work.....

Yea really, that is freaking fantastic. 1 bike back where it belongs, and 1 drug dealer behind bars. SCORE
congrats on getting it back. I would hate to have anyone violate my baby.
If you don't like me I'll shave your cat, steal your extension cords, not limited to your multiple supply outlet adapters and raid your fridge. Please don't let this inhibit you from contacting me, just be mortified;-p
The story continues...
I’ve been resisting getting a pet for my kids. Hate the sh!it, p!ss, pet hair,
furniture damage, expense, etc. But when a very nice stray cat starts hanging
around, I let the kids take care of it and keep it in the garage. While doing
so, they keep leaving the door next to the garage open so the beast can go in
and out.
So the door gets left open (again), and the drug user that stole my bike is
casing the neighborhood at 2am, he sees the door open, goes inside, sees the bike,
rolls it out and down the street, starts it, and is gone.
How do I know this? I know this because the thief stopped by my house Tuesday
afternoon to say he was "sorry" and that he wants to "turn his life around
and get off meth." Pretty bold move, but he was sincere; just an 18 year-old
kid, on his first offense. Says he was casing my neighborhood looking for stuff
to steal so he could buy more meth.
He tells his "Hearing on Advisement" (first appearance) is Wednesday, so
I go to the courthouse to listen in. He is charged with Aggravated Motor Vehicle
Theft in the 1st Degree, a class 4 felony with a prison term of 2 to 4 or 6 years,
I can’t remember exactly which.
So his story goes that after putting 50 or so miles on my bike, and running from
the cops on it once, he takes it to his buddy’s place (the apartment complex where
it was found) to settle a debt. His idiot buddy just leaves it in the parking lot
for weeks and weeks. The Crime Stoppers tip comes in, they run the plates, (get
this, MY plates are still on the thing), they get a warrant, raid the place,
find drugs, you know the rest of the story. Well most of it; his buddy immediately
rats him out and the cops go to his parent's house, his dad wakes him up and says
some Sheriff deputies want to talk to him, apparently he admits stealing the bike.
The bike does have some scratches and minor vandalism-type damage that I didn’t
see the night I got it back. After a full battery charge, and checking all the
fuses, the bike still shows absolutely no signs of life. Nothing in the dash
whatsoever, so it’s at the shop getting ‘analyzed’ (yeah, its Italian).
Big of the kid to stop by and say he is sorry. He also offered to pay for repairs,
but we will see about that. I’ll be at his sentencing putting in my 2 cents that
part of his punishment needs to be restitution / payment for whatever the repairs
come out to be.
What a week, next court date, Feb 26. 8:30am

wow that's very bold. I don't think I would do that! It would be nice if he did pay for everything
That's definitely ballsy... I'd probably kick the guys ass...
